Lots of great achievements by our members in 2022 – Here’s to many more in 2023!
Tom Brennan 5k
The 2023 season kicked off with the traditional Tom Brennan Memorial New Years Day 5k in Phoenix Park where we fielded both a womens and mens team.
We won the team race here for the last few seasons and with determined running by all the title was retained but only by 3 points from Sportsworld. But for excellent finishes by Niamh and Sinead we would not have won the team race.
Great to have a mens team in action and hopefully this can be built on in the coming years.
